HP_Halloween
Nov. 4th, 2017 10:54 pmAs always, the
hp_halloween drabble fest was a total treat. The number of stellar entries this year was impressive. 2017 marked my eighth year of participation, and I hope we'll have at least eight more. This fest is now one of my favorite traditions: On Halloween, I look forward all day to coming home, parking myself in the recliner with tea and Halloween candy, and just enjoying drabble after drabble.
My gift this year came courtesy of
ragdoll, and it's a real winner. She chose one of my favorite pairings -- McGonagall/Moody -- and, in lyrical prose, gave me everything I wanted: perfect Halloween atmosphere, a clever magical ritual, and spot-on characterization. Minerva and Alastor are just as I like them: stalwart, tender, pragmatic, enduring. Thank you, my dear!

I started preparing a rec list of additional favorites but realized that I was including at least half the fest. So just take yourself over there and read them all. There are pairings and ratings and tones to suit every taste.
